2-Hop Neighbors Table Based Broadcasting Algorithm in Ad Hoc Network

Abstract

In order to reduce redundant forwarding nodes and transmission delay, this paper proposes a 2-hop neighbors table based broadcasting algorithm. The proposed algorithm introduces two conceptions which are in-degree of two hop neighbor nodes and out-degree of neighbor nodes. It can reduce the number of forwarding nodes and redundant forwarding that using the out-degree and in-degree of nodes chooses the forwarding nodes from neighbor nodes. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has lower ratio of forwarding and smaller transmission delay, the performance is good.
